Clothing · A 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard provides protection from sun and sea urchins in tropical warm water year-round. Consider booties to protect from sharp coral.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing areas and communicate with other kiters in the bay. Yield to swimmers and always inform locals of your session times.
